In 2024, I am going through similar. An abandoned VR taken on as a side project to be returned to the roadways. Looking forward to hearing the first startup. Far as I know … so far …. Once I replace the TCI it should run. Wish me luck! Great to hear the sounds in this video. Will be very helpful putting ear to what it sounds like vs what it should sound like.

You a damn nut! lol I have a honda shadow spirit 1100 ive been riding here lately after selling my Honda CRF 250L dual sport, I keep riding out to the spots where I was riding my dual sport off road and keep wanting to go out onto those areas but I dont do it on this bike cause I know how ugly it might get lol, I just dont enjoy street bikes for this reason, on my dual sport I could be on the road all day/night or off the road all day/night, you should get you a damn dual sport, you'll love it so much better!

i have ridden a 2018 klr650 an a 2021 dr650 plus many rando dirt bikes still rather have my shadow the vt500 is about the same weight as a klr650 about 460lbs how ever the weight is much lower down making it easier to handle IMO

As much fun as you have with this bike it's worth fixing the small issues keeping the engine from running right. A little carb work would keep the plugs from fowling. Also, running rich will wash the oil out of your cylinder, killing it.

I ran my castle 5700 on my Ak -917. Ran it on 4s. 179km/h. I’m going to push it in the spring and run a max 8 with the 5700kv on 6s. For a speed record. Pushing for 200km/h.

I got lucky and got one at an Amazon return auction site. I got it for $430 all taxes in. Only had a busted steering rod. $19 part. 👍🏻👍🏻. So far I’ve shoe guuued the shell and fixed the broken rod with drywall tape and epoxy. Stronger now 👍🏻but up here in Canada it’s full of snow so nowhere to test it out properly but the servo likes the soft snow

It's been my experience with briggs engines that the intake valve usually never 100% closes. This is their way of having a compression release on their larger engines.

I've been using them for over eight years they've been working perfectly and all eight of them that size UCTVD14A and to of the larger ones still work perfectly, they went into the other two builds I did this year. The UCTVQ28A 600rpm - 900 -1200 you can switch them to whatever level you like the larger ones are bad boys and very quiet great fans.
